MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS

Measurement range

The maximum measurement range is 30 m. At night, at dusk, or if the object of measurement is shaded, the measurement range can be increased without the use of a reflective plate. Use a reflective plate to increase the measurement range during daylight hours, or if the object being measured has a poor reflective surface.

Object surface

When measuring up to colorless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass, polystyrene or similar translucent and glossy surfaces, the measurement results may be wrong. When measuring to very dark surfaces, the measurement time may increase.

MESSAGE CODES

While operation, the following codes/symbols may appear on the display:
